The lull was short. Jaraenar start harrasing Centurian II system :

But those lizards are cowards ! They retreat without the fight. Another million years of evolution and they might even become chickens
Xi'Chung are another proposition. Another battle for Centurian I :

The end result is the same - total annigilation of Bugs
I am very proud of my planetary deffences, Every single shot of the mighty Temporal Cannons hit the target. In fact, all credits should to go the Senior Gunnery Mate Stg. Harkness. He skillfully aimed the fire from his fire control bunker :

It 2.5 years we annigilated 25+11+14+12+11=73 Xi'Chung ships. Tonnage lost must be incrediable. I estimate it 3 million tonns. Add here 100+ fighters (both Pandoran and bugs) - another 1.5 million tons of radioactive debris. The space around Centurian I should look like Saturn' rings
Surely, even Bugs can not sustain such loses !
The small force of two destroyers make a short visit to the next system. Thankfully, there is no mine fields and ships return with vital intelligence - Holy Mother Terra ! 80 Bug' warships !!

If they pull half of them together and strike with one blow, how can we stop them ?
Also notice small Jraenar fleet. It passed before through two my systems - I had no forces to challenge them. Certainly they do have the range to invade Centurian II But why did't they do it yet ? We are at war for few years now.
